	<h1>Bandwith limiting</h1>

	<p>
	Bandwith limiting is useful when the total download or upload bandwith (or both) of your internet connection are 
	maxed out by file transfers of DC++. With this function you can control your bandwith usage and keep free 
	bandwith for other applications or other members of your local network. Limiting your bandwith slightly under
	the maximum speed of your connection is also useful on certain types of internet connections (eg. DSL) where
	uploading near the maximum possible speed may affect the speeds of your downloads and vica versa.
	</p>
	
	<h2>Transfer rate limiting</h2>
	<dl style="margin-left: 40px;">
		<dt>Maximum upload rate</dt>
		<dd cshelp="IDH_SETTINGS_BWLIMIT_UPLOAD">
		This specifies the maximum upload rate value in KiB/s. Zero value means no limiting at all. (default: 0)
		</dd>
		<dt>Maximum download rate</dt>
		<dd cshelp="IDH_SETTINGS_BWLIMIT_DOWNLOAD">
		This specifies the maximum download rate value in KiB/s. Zero value means no limiting at all. (default: 0)
		</dd>
	</dl>
	
	<h2>Secondary transfer rate limiting</h2>
	<dl style="margin-left: 40px;">
		<dt>Use second set of bandwith limits</dt>
		<dd cshelp="IDH_SETTINGS_BWLIMIT_SECONDARY_ENABLE">
		With this function you can specify alternate bandwidth limiting and upload slot values to be used in a certain
		time interval of a day. Note that setting the same time value for beginning and ending will disable the function.
	</dd>

	<h2>Secondary transfer rate limiting settings</h2>
	<dl style="margin-left: 40px;">
		<dt>Maximum upload rate</dt>
		<dd cshelp="IDH_SETTINGS_BWLIMIT_SECONDARY_UPLOAD">
		This specifies the maximum upload rate value for the alternative limiting period in KiB/s.
		Zero value means no limiting at all. (default: 0)
		</dd>
		<dt>Maximum download rate</dt>
		<dd cshelp="IDH_SETTINGS_BWLIMIT_SECONDARY_DOWNLOAD">
		This specifies the maximum download rate value for the alternative limiting period in KiB/s.
